DOD_VEGHEL (beta 2) by Kyle "Siron" Florence (kyle.florence[at]gmail[dot]com)
September 22, 1944, Netherlands
The paratroopers of the First Allied Airborne Army were to drop
into the Netherlands and secure a corridor from Eindhoven north
to Arnhem. After successful jumps and most objectives complete,
they were given the new objective of keeping Hell's Highway open
despite german counterattacks.
On September 22, the German forces launched their first counterattack
at the town of Veghel, Netherlands. The Axis forces hoped to cut the
road and stop the flow of Allies north.
Allied Objectives:
- Capture the 5 flag points
Axis Objectives:
- Capture the 5 flag points
Objectives:
- Allied 1: The Jeep - 2 second, 1 man cap.
- Allied 2: The Church - 4 second, 2 man cap.
- Neutral: The Cellar - 6 second, 2 man cap.
- Axis 2: The Warehouse - 4 second, 2 man cap.
- Axis 1: The Fountain - 2 second, 1 man cap.

Special thanks to (in no order):
Shane and the people at CoJ, Fuzzdad, the [I AM] Clan, and everyone
who playtested and gave me input.
Yes, veghel was a small p[lace, in these days it shouldnt be that anymore. but the lightning doesnt seem to fit the map in your screenshots, it wouldnt be a lightning you would find in holland. it looks like a desert lightning.
thanks for your comments guys. gorb: yeah i've already started applying a wood texture to the bottoms of the roofs, should look better. as for the sides of the roof (the trim) can't really find good textures for it. but if i do ill fix it too. as for the sky, i've already changed it to the one i originally had (i was using the jagd sky (current sky) because the map used to be a lot darker, but now that its lightened up i think the old sky will fit in well)

The edges and undersides of the roof-tops need a lot of work. The need a trim texture for the side and a more appropriate underside (not shingles).
This map has certainly come a long way. Only things I noticed in the screens was in the first one the street lamp doesn't really look "lit". I'm thinking maybe it's the texture or maybe it isn't even supposed to be lit at all, I can't really tell. In the third pic I think the supports might look a little better if they were pushed up so they run along the ceiling. Then again it doesn't look too bad like that and it might actually aid gameplay if you can get up there somehow. I'll try to play thru when I get some free time.
I'm fairly sure they aren't, don't worry about it. If they are, it's because some dude from DoD stole them and put them in an official WAD0, which is of course impossible.
This looks nice. I don't like the church though. I think churches in DoD maps have been overdone. Almost every capture style map in DoD has a church in it. It's just.. meh. But Klein makes some really cool textures.
Also, Canadians liberated Holland after several failed attempts by everybody else. Go Canada! :/

Quite nice except for it that, inside, there appear to be glow sprites with no light fixtures behind them. Otherwise, streets could be filled up a bit more, but the buildings/building textures are quite good.
